Analysis indicates that xquake.info was registered on July 25, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently hosted on the IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS infrastructure, as evidenced by the authoritative name servers bingo.ns.cloudflare.com and guss.ns.cloudflare.com. Early detection activity shows that the domain has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist and appears on one additional security blocklist, confirming that defensive feeds consider it malicious.
VirusTotal has processed the domain with 91 scanning engines, none of which returned a detection at the time of analysis; the lack of a positive result does not imply safety, especially given the recent creation date and blocklist presence. No public page content, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing verdicts are available in the current intelligence set, leaving the exact phishing payload and targeted brand undefined. The short lifespan of the domain combined with immediate blocklist listings suggests a rapid‑deployment phishing campaign, typical of generic credential‑harvesting operations.
Defenders should proactively deny network traffic to 188.114.96.3 and add xquake.info to local deny lists, DNS sinks, and intrusion‑prevention signatures. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS resolution and any future VirusTotal or sandbox submissions is recommended to capture potential shifts in payload or hosting. Organizations that rely on email filtering should ensure that outbound and inbound filters reference the latest blocklist feeds, including PhishDestroy, to capture this indicator while the investigation remains active.
